I liked that the mentors are younger people and understand what it’s like to suffer with mental health personally. It makes them more understanding

How does hatch work for you?
Everybody has ups and downs in life and goes through challenging times; it’s a natural part of life, and these things having an effect on the way we feel is perfectly normal.
However we aren’t born with the natural ability to cope with
these things on our own.
This is where hatch can help.
We provide a range of services to improve your mental health and emotional wellbeing, in a relatable and non-clinical way. These include;
- 1-1 mental health & wellbeing support via our three tailored interventions; Bazaar, Primal & hatch Wellbeing sessions
- hatch youth club
- Half-term activity days
- Summer camps
- Fitness and wellbeing sessions
Our 1-1 support is delivered at our site in Birkenhead by our team of volunteer mentors. The sessions are arranged for the same time each week and can last between 6-8 weeks.
All three programmes help you develop a better understanding of the different areas of mental health and emotional wellbeing, as well as teaching you skills and strategies to help you make positive changes in the areas you’re finding challenging.
Please note: Demand for our service is extremely high, please make sure that you are ready and willing to engage before completing the online form. Not all young people will access 1-1 support if we feel there is a more suitable service available.
We are proud to be a part of a brand new offer in Wirral to support children and young people’s emotional health called Branch.
Branch has been developed in a partnership between Wirral Council and NHS Cheshire and Merseyside, supported by an alliance of local mental health wellbeing providers including ourselves hatch, Action for Children, KOOTH, Koala North West and Open Door Charity.
Head to Branch’s new website to find support.
Please note that Branch has a wider offer than hatch and the site will help you to find a right support for you or your young person.
